    chmod 754 /home/$user_name/cim_$dir
    echo "Enter source server"
    read SOURCESERVER < /dev/tty
    echo "Enter source folder"
    read SOURCEDIR < /dev/tty
    echo "Enter User Name for FTP the the files"
    read FTPUSER < /dev/tty
    echo "Enter Password for FTP the the files"
    read FTPPASSWD < /dev/tty
    ftp $REMOTEHOST<<!
    quote USER $FTPUSER
    quote PASS $FTPPASSWD
    lcd /home/$user_name/cim_$dir
    cd /home/$FTPUSER/hasan/cim
    ascii
    mget *
    quit
    !

    when I execute the script it gives ERROR as >>>>>
    USER csoei Access denied
    login with user first
    and some invalid command? output

    now when I tried to check the command ftp dissp15.gsa.nl.ibm.com
    output is as following >>>>>>

    Ah.. thanks Jim...I fogot to mention I am taking value of this varaible from a txt file which i am executing in this script.
    Also I forgot to mention that both the host and target system I am usning are same for the testing purpose.

    Also I am interested to know what actually preventing the login even after providing a correct password when the ftp command is put in command line..

    Your help is higly appreciated...
    with regards

    I believe you have to add a "-n" flag to the ftp command. That seems to make it work on my system.
